Paul McCartney's next world tour will be his last - so he can spend more time wi th daughter Beatrice.

The former Beatle is about to announce plans for a colossal two-year tour. The huge string of dates, starting this autumn, will be one of the biggest rock tours of all time. Macca is expected to make £110million from the planned 100 gigs - more than £1m per show.

It will be his biggest tour since 1989-90 when he played 108 shows in Europe, the US, Japan and Brazil.

The tour will be in stages, taking in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia. The first dates will be announced in the next few weeks.

Beatrice, four, will join her dad - 66 this month - for sections of the tour.

Macca revealed his plan to close friends and family last weekend at his triumphant City Of Culture gig in his home town of Liverpool.

A source said: "Paul explained that this tour will be the last big one. He wants to settle down and enjoy Beatrice's childhood.

"The tour will be the last time he performs in many parts of the world. Beatrice and his family life are going to come first. He does not want to be away for months at a time."

The other woman in Macca's life - his new love, American socialite Nancy Shevell - will join him for much of the tour, aides have been told.

Nancy, 48, will see Paul play a free concert in Kiev, Ukraine, next Saturday.

Paul had long planned to make a final world tour but was waiting to get his divorce from Beatrice's mum Heather Mills out of the way. The two reached a £25million settlement in March.

Macca's last major tour, in 2002, netted him £63million for just 58 shows.

Paul will get more than £1million from each of the planned 100 per formances on one of the biggest rock tours ever.

Four-year-old Beatrice will fly out to join her dad for parts of the tour.

Go-ahead had to wait for end of divorce proceedings.

Wh-wh-WHAT?!?
Paul better come to Boston.

I hope he's coming to Copenhagen again. Didn't catch him last time.

i'm defo not going to miss this, last chance to see him live :O:O

last tour?? i suppose it's getting to that point now where macca's age is catching up
with him and he can possibly get exhusted at times, maybe? i think he'll still do
small venue's but no huge tours. i have noticed he has been struggling with his
voice on live shows recently, hard to keep them high notes right at times.

I wouldn't want to miss it if he comes to Denmark! I really hope he does!

Well, the guy's been touring on and off since 1964 so if he wants to stop now, I really wouldn't blame him!  

I saw him at Madison Square Garden on the 2005 tour and I was suprised by good he was.  If he puts his all into this tour he should be kicking serious a**!

Contacts are good Thanks!

i wonder if he'll just put the Frog Chorus into his next set-list?  

2 years out his life is a long time, but I'm sure he is doing the UK!!

and I can't see Paul stopping forever, I think he'd miss it too much, so some small gigs might be on the menu

Of course he's doing the UK!! You all are lucky ones. But me, I live in Argentina, he's not coming here!! So sad. You think it's really gonna be his final tour?? And I was wondering who would be leaving the stages first... Paul or the Stones... I guess the Stones win... Crap.

lol, well it says he is coming to norther AND south america, so theres a good chance he would be coming to you wingsman!! or close enough for you to see him maybe! I really look forward to this tour, I shall waste as much money as I can to see him! lol

Do you think Germany is on the tour list ? I hope so ! I definitly want to see him.
